Announcing the show, Saurabh Tewari, Head
Programming-Fiction, Imagine TV, said "Pardes Mein Mila Koi Apna is a slice of a
life story about Mumbai seen from the protagonist, Nirupama's point of view,
and how she deals with the various trials and tribulations of a city life. The
plot revolves around people of various sections, backgrounds and socio-economic
status. It focuses on the day-to-day life style, the problems they face and how
they overcome them. And amidst all this is Nirupama's love story with Chandu. We
are optimistic that this unique story will surely resonate with the
viewers."

After Miley Jab Hum Tum, Arjun Bijlani plays the
charming boy, Chandu, in the show. Happy to be playing a Marathi boy, Arjun says
"I am happy that I am playing a Marathi boy because my mom always wanted me to
do a show with a Marathi family. Hence, I dedicate this role as a tribute to my
mother."

With this show Bhavna Khatri is back again in Imagine
TV in the lead role, Nirupama. "The role is really bold and strong when compared
to Jamunia who has a great bonding with her father and the main reason she
shifts to Mumbai is for her father's better medication." says
Bhavna.

After portraying the royal Prince Yudhishtir in Raja Ki
Ayegi Baraat, Kapil Nirmal is all set to portray Sarje Rao, the aamchi Mumbai
and speaking about the role Kapil says "I play the character of Sarje Rao in the
show who is a brat in the show but ironically born to a cop family. He loves his
brother Chandu but has a problem with the other members of the
family."

Speaking about the character and the novelty in the
looks he says "In this show I am born in a Marathi family and I have certain
dialogues in Marathi. I am learning the language and my costars are really
helpful in that regard and I like it."

The show looks promising
with the main cast and the with various other theatre artistes involved in the
show.

Kapil Nirmal is Sarja Raja!

Kapil
Nirmal better known as Yudishter Shishodaya from Star Plus hit show,
'Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat' is now back after a 6-month gap with Imagine
TV's new presentation, 'Pardes Mein Mila Koi Apna'. This Jaipur-born
dude began his acting career with ETV Rajasthan's show, 'Ina Meena
Dika', then he went on to do a telly film, 'Roop Ki Rani'. Kapil then
shifted to Mumbai where he worked with Reliance (Reliance Big Pictures)
who, coincidentally, are now are producing his latest show.
Describe your character in the show?
I play a Marathi character called Sarja living in a chawl. Sarja is a
ruffian, full of aggression, completely different from my soft spoken
'Baraat' avatar. My on-screen father is a police constable and I really resent our low socio economic status and want to rise up
in life. I love my brother, Chandu (Arjun Bijlani) who falls in love
with a girl Nirupama (Bhavna Khatri) from another community and I will
do anything for him.Although my character is generally white, there are
certain grey shades to me as well. There also will be some twists due
to my past which will be unraveled over time.
What is the USP of the show?
Apart from the above love story, the underlying social and ideological
tensions between our group and Nirupama's side will be an added
attraction.
Also father-son conflicts have not been shown much on desi TV. Our show
basically deals with city life seen from a lower socio economic strata.
There will be lots of conflicts arising out of different emotions and I
will play a key role in the churning which will take place. For the
moment we are working hard to create our characters.
But nowadays, shows don't follow set scripts and changes are brought to meet TRP requirements?
I better not talk about that. I am just an actor and it is my job to put in my best till the very end.
Can you talk a bit about your look?
I am a cool guy, with a stubble. The only down side is that I will not
be able to play any other type of character during the time this show is
on air. It also will be tough to anchor a show (his wish list) with this 'tapori' appearance.

You debuted with Star Plus and now Imagine?
See, we actors are always looking for interesting and varied roles to
entertain the audience. Having said that, channels are very important.
Star is a settled network and Imagine is trying to reach the top. Ups
and downs always keep happening (He was referring to imagine very low
GRP base).
What did you do during the long gap between both shows?
I did lot of travelling, went to Manali, Ranthomobore, Corbett National
Park and Goa (first time). I did not want to do 'run of the mill' stuff
hence I waited and my patience was successfully rewarded.
You have done a couple of dance reality shows?
Yes I did 'Nach Baliye' and 'Zara Nach Ke Dikha'. The latter took place
last year. Actually, I was first penciled for that Star One battle of
sexes show, but dropped during the planning stages. Later, they came
back and requested me to enter at the 11th hour, I agreed. All said and
done the fact that I entered late did contribute to my early exit as I
could not be in sync with my boys' team.

Any more reality shows?
I would love to do more dance shows. Not only dance, I am game for any kind of adventure stuff. I will draw the line on Big Boss-type formats. God save me from such a day where I might be forced do it.
How tedious it gets to play the same character day in and day out?
Very much, but that's the way the idiot box functions and you have to take the rough with the smooth.

Any chances of you settling down with girlfriend Anjali Abrol ?I might go down the Atal Bihari Vajpayee route (laughs). Fate plays such
a game that things keep going wrong either from her end or mine.
